                <p>TPOT is built on top of several existing Python libraries, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><a href="http://www.numpy.org/">NumPy</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="https://www.scipy.org/">SciPy</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="http://www.scikit-learn.org/">scikit-learn</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="https://github.com/DEAP/deap">DEAP</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="https://github.com/bboe/update_checker">update_checker</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm">tqdm</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="https://github.com/glenfant/stopit">stopit</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="http://pandas.pydata.org">pandas</a></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Most of the necessary Python packages can be installed via the <a href="https://www.continuum.io/downloads">Anaconda Python distribution</a>, which we strongly recommend that you use. We also strongly recommend that you use of Python 3 over Python 2 if you're given the choice.</p>
<p>NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn, and pandas can be installed in Anaconda via the command:</p>
<pre><code class="Shell">conda install numpy scipy scikit-learn pandas
</code></pre>

<p>DEAP, update_checker, tqdm and stopit can be installed with <code>pip</code> via the command:</p>
<pre><code class="Shell">pip install deap update_checker tqdm stopit
</code></pre>

<p><strong>For the Windows users</strong>, the pywin32 module is required if Python is NOT installed via the <a href="https://www.continuum.io/downloads">Anaconda Python distribution</a> and can be installed with <code>pip</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="Shell">pip install pywin32
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Optionally</strong>, you can install <a href="https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost">XGBoost</a> if you would like TPOT to use the eXtreme Gradient Boosting models. XGBoost is entirely optional, and TPOT will still function normally without XGBoost if you do not have it installed.</p>
<pre><code class="Shell">conda install py-xgboost
</code></pre>

<p>If you have issues installing XGBoost, check the <a href="http://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build.html">XGBoost installation documentation</a>.</p>
<p>If you plan to use the <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.01780">TPOT-MDR configuration</a>, make sure to install <a href="https://github.com/EpistasisLab/scikit-mdr">scikit-mdr</a> and <a href="https://github.com/EpistasisLab/scikit-rebate">scikit-rebate</a>:</p>
<pre><code class="Shell">pip install scikit-mdr skrebate
</code></pre>

<p>Finally to install TPOT itself, run the following command:</p>
<pre><code class="Shell">pip install tpot
</code></pre>

<p>Please <a href="https://github.com/rhiever/tpot/issues/new">file a new issue</a> if you run into installation problems.</p>
